A
t Greenlands we believe that quality is not negotiable.
All Greenlands’ products must meet the requirements of
Act 36 of 1947 and we endeavour to exceed these norms
and standards as laiddown in theAct.
To thisend,Greenlandshas throughhighqualitydriversasexplained
below, been able to achieve excellent results in the annual fertiliser
monitoringwhich isundertakenby theAgricultural ResearchCouncil
(ARC). To date, Greenlands have always achieved a zero deviation
report on theplant nutrients ofmonitoredproducts.
This has not been achieved by coincidence, but with meticulous
planning anddetailed attention to rawmaterials andblendingplants
operating efficiencies.
For example, all fertilisersblendedatGreenlands is sieved (

),
as we endeavour to achieve closely and uniformly sized granules
from the various rawmaterials (
Photo 3
). Varied sizing causes the
fertiliser to segregate after blending (
Photo 2
). Through the careful
quality screening of suppliers and the sieving of rawmaterials, our
goal is to consistently supply blends that are correctly formulated
andof uniformgranulometry (

).
Last but not least, we endeavour to provide a quality and prompt
delivery service. We have noted that seasons and buying patterns
have become later and later as the years have gone by. Our clients
should be able to reap the benefits of later buying and delivery
without being penalised due to production capacity constraints
causedby the seasonal rush. To this end, Greenlands have a second
replica plant for blending on sitewhich is purposelymanaged to be
able tomeet any increased requirements inpeak season.
Greenlands=qualitymaterials=qualityblends
Our…green…is…gold.
